The Hands of Christ Food Pantry serves all residents of Ford County and also residents of the Paxton-Buckley-Loda School district.  You will be asked to self-attest to income requirements.  We also asked clients to bring proof of residency less than 30 days old (bill, appointment reminder, etc.) -- you can bring the physical evidence or show the info on your phone.  

No referrals are needed to use the food pantry. Those eligible to use it, however, must have a household income no greater than 130% of the poverty level. Food is distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis.
